Some of the bouys were there the first week in January, but I didn't honestly think much of it because I never really pay a lot of attention to the lagoon at IOA. There is plenty of space to watch this show too. The path behind Me Ship the Olive, as mentioned the Jurassic Park Discovery Center, behind Mythos, down near Sneech Beach, The area of Port of Entry that used to be the Island Skipper Tours queue, and behind the restaurants in Marvel. Only Potter wouldn't have a vantage point. Is it as much viewing area as Universal Studios has? No. But there's plenty to make it worthwhile.
